[Scar]

Situation all cleared out.

[ATiC3]

Shouldn't this be in MUGEN Discussion, since these aren't exactly.. his releases? or the News section even idk.. whatever.. ...

Anyways, not too fond of that Hercules.. looks weird to me... Not too fond of that Daily Planet stage either... would like the angle to face so it's like looking over half a city... Always glad to see a Joker update, and I'm going to try Batgirl. She looks cool.

[Alexziq]

Well think of herc as a place holder. He is a character in the beginning stages by a brand new creator who's come a long way. Theres some major sprite improvements on the way, and the code will get a massive clean up.

[Kojunho]

Batman Beyond is awesome.

[Alexziq]

Batman Beyond is awesome.

Thanx man, that means a lot.

I hope to make him a LOT better in the near future.

[C.R.O.M. - ManoloStyle]

By the way Alexziq, I love your work. Your Batman is incredibly awesome. One of my favorite characters. I can't wait to see what else you do to it.

Thank you very much for some awesome releases. Here is a fan that sincerily appreciate all of your efforts. Keep it up.

Regards,

Manolostyle

Not really planned, but some stuff came together around the same time, so we'll unofficially call this a Back to School gift for the Mugen community.


Now announcing a minor update to Firestorm. Special thanks to lideroptimus for making him an AI patch and also to jhfer for allowing it to be the default AI for him. Then volzzilla (with help from bdcirck) and aa250 made some minor tweaks to some of the original coding to make it work a little better.

Happy B-day Jmaxximus.

Here is the 1st Overdose Hyper for Bane, and a previews for a few works of CVG's Legends Team for the various projects in the 1st half of 2010.

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Thanks a bunch for all these great releases!

[.Batzarro.]

The new stuff is all looking great. That new stance on Harl looks really cool. Real psychotic look on her that fits well. Glad to see Batzarro got taken out of her as well, he was getting abused far too easily. =P

[laspacho]

Cool looking new stuff guys.   

[warecus]

as I said before great stuff al, harley does look cool

[Alexziq]

as I said before great stuff al, harley does look cool

Thanks to you, and jmaxx for helping of course

Warecus ladies and gentlemen is the man supplying the great sprites for our revamp Guy Gardner, and created the new look for Harley. He also did the stance, and hammer for my Joker, so look out for this cat.

Thanks that means a lot for you to say that. There is a lot that may not be obvious in the video as well. The maximum Harley Move is differant, and hits from anywhere p2 is positioned. The jump or air version of the move which isnt pictured, will be a completely differant version from the standing. The bounce back into stance still needs work, but I'll be getting to that. The fighting hyper is totally revamped as well, and hits all the attacks with proper position adds. Ivy in addition to Jmaxxes sprite upgrade comes in based on P2 posion now rather than p1 which makes the move more effective. obviously we have some air projectiles, and special now, and moderately tough AI. We still need a couple new hypers, but were still kicking around ideas.

[dragonesku]

Great work by the fellas from cvg man! It is nice to see the site doing so well. Can't see you all doing any better.  belated congratulations to all and good luck in the future.

[volzzilla]

[Playing Enemy]

It just fills the cracks in the heart. Dang I can't wait. 

[Vitamin]

[ELECTRO]

[Orochi Gill]

- Her sprites change proportions constantly.
- QCF+P misses at close range.
- Priorities everywhere.
- Readme should NOT be combined with the CMD.
- F, B+P, then constant hitting of any P = never coming down and always attacking.
- B, B+2P is awkward to do because of backdash and does only 95 damage at most.
- Completely inconsistant hitsounds.
- For a level 1, 500 healing for the Medpack (B, F+2K) is far too much.
- Moves completely unnaturally when pushing/being pushed.
- Rope doesn't even go the screen length.
- Super also leads into the swinging issue though at ground level if done right.

Unimpressed.

[ATiC3]

Pretty much what OrochiGill said to be honest...

- Pretty much all of the animations are weird looking, especially this one standing kick....
- Animations need more fluidity... for the ones that have been put in there need to be more fluid before the final release.

The only part I liked was the gun special... the rope special needs work... The bomb special... yeah.. Lara has to step on the bomb for it to activate... just wow...

[DARKTALBAIN]

I'm going to be honest, I was legitimately going to try her out. But I just couldn't get past the inconsistency of the sprites changing size.

I think you used too many different bases for the legs. They keep changing size. If you are going to pull body parts from different characters, you have to make sure you resize them to proportion.

I know this was an alpha/beta, but I think that I would have waited to release this. Focus on fixing all those sprites for the next release. Good Luck
